The new NJ. E. Church at LaHarpe
was dedicated on last Sabbath Jan. g,
by Rev. H. A. Goblin D. D. president
of Baker University. The Doctor
preached an able sermon to a very
large and attentive audience, after
which a collection was taken up,
amounting to about $40, which with
the subscriptions on hand will pay all
debts against the church. The dedi-
catory service was then conducted by
DR.. Goblin. The citizens of LaHarpe
and vicinity deserve great credit for
their liberality and enterprise. The
church is finely finished and a perfect |

the distinguished and brilliant success

er.
In the land cases some of the defen-
dants last Tuesday submitted a motion
for a change Of venue on account
of the bias and prejudice OF the
Judge. His Honor Judge Stillwell
examined the parties making the afd-
davit and their own testimony showed
conclusively that they did not consider
him preiudiced against them. The
Judge denied the application with some
wholesome remarks to the defendants,
and proceeded with the trial of the
cases. Something over fifty cases were
tried in which the owners recovered
possession of the land.
For ten years we have been told by
the Leaguers that all they wanted was
3 decision Of the Supreme Court and If
it was against them they would give
up the struggle and give peaceful and
immediate possession TO the rightful
owners of the land they had been &C.
cupying. Well, such decision has
been rendered, and it is against the
Leaguers; but how do We find them
fulfilling their pledge? In no single
case that has yet come to our knowl-
edge, has possession been surrendered.
On the contrary every effort is being
made to embarrass ard delay the exc
cution of the law. The Leaguers at
tempt to justify their course by claim
ing that they should have pay for their

The Art OF Lining the Face.

IRON thumoerSs journal.
The art OF lining" the face to simulate the
wrinkles Of age is one very imperfcctly understood.
Frequently does the amateur performer draw a
abyrinthine meshwork Of thin, dark lines, which
only convey the effect Of q dirty face when seen
upon the stage. The point to decide Is rather how
few than how many wrinkles to mark upon the
nature of shadows than Of mere lines viii often
give an effect which would be destroyed by
any attempt at q more minute treatme I.
The lines should be made with dark
red, not black. An ordinary water-color cake and
a small brush are the implements needed. The
natural wrinkles of the face will AFFORD the best
guide to where the artificial ones are TO be painted,
although, Of course, they must be varied according
IN marking the - crows feet I" In the outer corners
of the eyes a jovial expression is given by drawing
the lines downward and a serious or mournful eX-
precision by drawing them Upward. 1t should

should be Aubdued as much as possible.

She came up to the Baronet witt out

neither hands nor smile, and refused to take

splendor as is doubtless to be found at Las
ceiles Place, but we should have thought it

voice that drove her visitor to desperation,
and made him put q very strong guard over

cruel separation! You really ought to be
overjoyed to see me, my dear husband.
Indeed, I'm glad to see you, you know. Well,

Sir Edward stepped VI, to the table and

perfectly rigid and pale but there was a
strange calmness In his voice when he spoke.

story of an Embroidered Drop-curtain.

tFrom the Philadelphia Pres.1
The famous drop-curtain of the Madison Square
Theatre, made six years ago, was the first work
executed by Q group OF women In New York, whose
subsequent efforts have placed on a firm founda-
ton what deserves to he called the only distinc-
lively American School OF Art In the country. Some
day the great American novel may materialize;
some day we may have An American School OF
Painting or OF Music. Some day we may not look
to Europe for art culture in any line. Meantime
the Associated Artists OF New York have estab-
lished n School Of Embroidery, whose work is as
characteristic of Its time ana founded on as en-
during art principles as were the old Gobelins tap
estries. Tue exhibition of American tapestries In
progress for the past fortnight at tho rooms Of the
society has demonstrated again the fact that as
beautiful drapery, upholstery and wall hanging
fabrics are being produced In this country as are
made in the world to-day. Mrs. Candace
Wheeler Is the head Of the Society of Asso-
ciated Artists. She ia a sister of Mrs. Jeanette
Thurber, of American opera fame. and the
mother Of Dora Wheeler, an artist of exceptional
powers, Mrs. Wheeler is an exquisitely pretty
woman, who looks quite as much like her daugh-
ters elder sister as her mother, and has a thor
ouRhly feminine charm. She ID a woman Of bust
ness sense also, and the affairs of the society have
been managed with skill. and discretion. She has
pushed embroidery further and In q more inde-
pendent direction than any other art IN the country,
has been q very apostle to teach self-help 10 young
women and has made considerable money withal,
